Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Sweet corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 unit Green chili (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoons Red chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Chaat masala
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cups Water
Instructions
Heat a medium-sized pan over medium heat and add the butter.
Once the butter melts, add the cumin seeds and sauté them until they start to crackle.
Add the finely chopped green chili and grated ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until aromatic.
Add the sweet corn kernels to the pan and mix well to coat them in the butter and spices.
Pour in 1/4 cup of water, cover the pan with a lid, and let the corn cook for about 5 minutes on low heat.
Remove the lid and add the red chili powder, turmeric powder, chaat masala, and salt. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the spices.
Cook the corn for another 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is tender and the spices are well incorporated.
Turn off the heat and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the corn. Stir to combine.
Garnish with chopped coriander leaves for a fresh touch.
Serve hot as a snack or side dish, and enjoy the burst of desi flavors!
